BS Computer Engineering

Description
The Computer Engineering program at CSU, Chico bridges the curriculum gap between electrical/electronic engineering and computer science. The program is designed to provide a broad background in both the theory and practice of computer hardware and software design, and the integration of both into useable computer systems. The curriculum includes courses in logic design, microprocessor system design, computer interfacing, programming and data structures, computer architecture and assembly language programming, embedded system design, and system requirements and design. The program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Mission
The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department will educate each student to be a responsible and productive computer engineer who can effectively manage future challenges.

Objectives
The objective of the Computer Engineering Program is to produce graduates able to:
  • Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to identify, formulate, and solve computer engineering problems.
  • Use industry standard tools to analyze, design, develop and test computer-based systems containing both hardware and software components.
  • Achieve success in graduate programs in computer engineering, electrical engineering or computer science.
  • Continue to develop their knowledge and skills after graduation in order to succeed personally and contribute to employer success.
  • Work effectively as a member of a multi-disciplinary development team and undertake leadership roles when appropriate.
  • Communicate their thoughts, in both written and oral forms, so that others can comprehend and build on their work.
  • Appreciate the importance of ethics in the profession and the need to act in society's best interest.
